Titanium Security #1-3
Titanium Security Series Box Set: Volume I
Now you can get the first three books of the Titanium Security Series in one bundle!
Ignited: When her father is murdered by a Taliban cell in the tribal regions of Pakistan, Khalia Patterson reluctantly steps into his shoes to carry on the legacy of Fair Start Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to furthering the education of girls. There she meets Hunter Phillips, the ex-SEAL and head of her Titanium security team, and quickly learns that coming to Pakistan might prove to be a deadly decision.
Battling demons of his own, Hunter grudgingly leads Khalia’s protective detail as a favor to his boss. From their first meeting it’s clear she’s going to be trouble, and that the cell that killed her father is hell bent on taking her out as well. Keeping her alive is one of the toughest assignments he’s ever faced, yet through one harrowing situation after another she continually impresses him with her strength and inner courage. Even though he fights his feelings for her, it’s a losing battle. And when the job is over, he doesn’t know how he’ll let her go.
Singed: She walked away from him once…
Struggling to live with her decision to walk away from the only man she ever loved and watching helplessly while her brother succumbs to his battle with severe PTSD, NSA analyst Claire Tierney’s life is at an all time low. The final hit comes when she accesses classified information at work that might get her fired. Instead, she’s assigned to a joint taskforce charged with hunting down a Taliban assassin planning an attack on American soil, and finally has something productive to focus on. Until she meets the rest of the team and learns she’ll be working with the last person on earth she wants further contact with; her ex. She knows letting him go was the biggest mistake of her life, but just when she thinks things can’t get any worse, new intel points to the assassin’s intended target. Her.
This time he’s not letting her go…
As a former Special Forces Master Sergeant and second-in-command of his Titanium Security team, Gage Wallace can handle anything, except being forced to go through life without Claire. When she abruptly walked out on him six months ago, his whole world caved in. It’s clear she’s still determined to keep her distance, but when she’s named a possible target of the very cell they’re trying to dismantle, Gage will stop at nothing to ensure she’s safe. When tragedy destroys Claire’s defenses and the explosive desire between them ignites once more, this time he’s not letting her go. Too late they discover that the danger confronting them is far greater than anyone ever realized, and it’s a race against time to stop a terrorist from unleashing hell on them all.
Burned: A woman with a dark past…
Forced into hiding after her NSA-sanctioned task force lands on a terrorist cell’s hit list, cryptologist Zahra Gill must rely on the skill and experience of her ex-Special Ops Titanium Security teammates to keep her safe—including former Force Recon Marine Sean Dunphy. The impossibly sexy man has the unnerving ability to shatter her concentration by simply walking into the same room. Even though she’s sworn to keep him at a distance, his charm and protectiveness weaken her resistance. Drawn to his strength and magnetic sensuality, she finally gives in to the passion she’s denied herself for so long…even though she knows she might lose her heart in the process.
The man strong enough to win her trust…
Sean’s had his eye on the guarded, proud analyst from the first day they met.

All of the Kaylea Cross books I've read have been 5 star reads for me, I love the way she draws you into the story and the characters lives, and they are just the right mix of romance and action. Highly recommended!

Great series!!! Never a dull moment in any of the books.

All three stories are real page turner and it felt as if I stood next to these characters and experienced their adventures live with them.
My only issues were some repetitive passages with very similar basic story lines as well as the fact the main character of the first stories blended back into background more and more. I really wish this would've been a series or a group stories centered around a different couple each.
I'm still looking to continue the series and hope the further books will be even better.

And the plot thickens
This series of books about an elite group of men and their each, individual love interest has been a fantastic read! This is the end of Vol 1, so now it’s on to Vol 2 to find a satisfying continuous of the storyline! The action in each book has been riveting, and extremely suspenseful, an edge of the seat, hold your breath kind of suspense. And of course not enough can be said about the romance and love that each one of these warriors experiences! Good story telling at its best!

This volume includes the first three books in the Titanium Security series: Ignited; Singed; and Burned. I've read several of the Hostage Rescue Team series books and wanted to read these after noticing the cross over of some of the characters.
Ignited:
Khalia goes to Pakistan to fulfill the dream of opening a girl's school that her father started before he was assassinated. The only problem, she's now the target of the Taliban cell that killed her dad. She turns to the Titanium Security Team to protect her while she's there.
Hunter is all about the job and doesn't have time to fall for a woman, especially after he just lost his best friend because of the troubles her father started. But Hunter is the kind of man who takes his job seriously and when he discovers that the same Taliban group is after Khalia, he'll do whatever he has to in order to protect her. Only the more Hunter's around her, the more he's drawn to Khalia. His protective instincts awaken and he's afraid he's not going to be able to let her go when the jobs over.
Hunter is a really great guy. He's military, honorable, protective, handsome and above all loyal. Khalia is very likeable and their chemistry together is intense. Sometimes you find love where you least expect it. The secondary characters were great as well.
Singed:
Claire walked away from Gage six months ago and has been miserable ever since. Her excuses for walking away were weak and personally, I thought not good enough for denying them happiness. When her life is in danger because of the work she does with the NSA, Gage is on the team assigned to protect her. She knows he's one of the best, but will her heart be able to handle it?
Gage is still in love with Claire. Even though she broke his heart, he can't get over her. He'll do whatever he has to in order to protect her. But now it's not just her the Pakistan cell is after, it's his whole team. With Claire and Gage working together, he decides to prove its worth the risk to be together.
Gage is the kind of man you can't resist. He's sweet, caring, protective and loves deeply. He knows he's the best man to be in Claire's life. Claire tried my patience at first. I had a hard time understanding her reasons for breaking Gage's heart. In the end, things work out as they should. Loved seeing all the guys again and seeing them closer to finding the people targeting them.
Burned:
Zahra is a cryptologist for the NSA. She's working with the Titanium group to help find the people threatening to harm them and others. From the minute she locks eyes with Sean, she's attracted to him. He makes it pretty clear he's interested, but she's determined to keep her distance.
Sean wants Zahra. Not just in his bed, but in his life. When it's clear, someone has targeted her, he makes it his personal job to protect her. She trusts him and he'll make sure she's safe. He'll also do whatever he can to make her break down her barriers and give him a chance. Not just during the job, but from now on.
I loved both Sean and Zahra. They're so perfect for each other. Sean is patient and allows Zahra time to tell him her secrets and get closer to her. Zahra lived through a traumatic experience with the death of her mother and is strong as a result. The guys are even closer now to their target and each are stronger because of the women they have found. I've enjoyed reading how close these guys are and how they'll put their lives on the line to do what is necessary to save each other. I'm looking forward to reading the final two books in this series.

I read Kaylea Cross' Bagram Special Ops series and had to have more by this author so bought this series. I was not disappointed. Wow.
The 5 books, Volume 1 and 2, are about Titanium Security personnel working independently and then under contract with NSA. The action takes place mostly in Pakistan where book 1 starts with an exciting evacuation of hostages. This opening sets the scene for the plot and main characters to come.
The plot flows through the whole series with mini victories and loses in each book which takes you onto the next part of the story. Through the plot each book focuses on one member of the team as they fight the terrorist cells aiding one man trying to pull a military coup in Pakistan. The story never loses momentum, all members of the team have their own personalities and strengths making for interesting reading as you see them develop. The bond between the men is obvious. Over the 5 books, each of the main characters has a love interest but although there is the love story in each book, it doesn't take over the action. I was left on edge all the time until eventually having a mini breather while a couple finally got together or a military victory was found. I read the 5 books back to back though as I had to find out what would happen. Kaylea Cross does a great job of gradually introducing characters so you get interested in them before then then feature in a book of their own.
Fantastic, amazing, mind blowing. Onto the Suspense Series next..... see you on the other side.

This was a great bargain! Getting the first 3 books in the Titanium Security series all in one bundle meant I covered this series pretty much back to back. And as always with Kaylea Cross's writing, I was hooked and couldn't put my book down once I started! Brilliant story lines to immerse yourself into + seriously likeable and totally believable characters and relationships. The perfect balance of romance, action, drama, and comedic flare. The military and security detail is also quite outstanding and opens our eyes to a lot of hidden truths our soldiers face when serving in whatever capacity on the front line. This series also ties in seamlessly with the HRT series! 5 stars for sure - I definitely recommend this series!

True Heroes Brought to Life
These books are well written, suspenseful, romantic, and funny. The dialogue is especially realistic and full of all the come backs we wish we could come up with. They are also a tribute to the real heroes in our world who quietly dedicate their lives to making sure we enjoy our freedoms. While each book is focused on one of the men forming the team, they all work together to paint a picture of how a team is only as strong as the members and how well they work together. You will enjoy these men and women and want to see them succeed.
I'm looking forward to more.
